Lieut. B. Palmes.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an advance he took his guns through a hostile barrage to a forward position, from which he inflicted considerable casualties upon the retreating enemy. His energy and resource were of the greatest value to the assaulting infantry. He set a splendid example to all ranks.
